yup, I work sundays.
I may get a long weekend.. monday through wednesday this week, but that would just be normal, I do get 2 of those a month. :p
No wonder you put a ? after hugs! When would you have time! :D ((((Jaqui))) There you go, Jaqui. I have a THING about keeping my word. (Was it as good for you as it was for me?) :p
Now I know jd will jump all over that one. (jd! It was ONLY a hug! Get in line!)

I saw that! :D
I WASN'T going to say anything because of the nature of this discussion, but you just HAD to bring it up!
Because of the nature of the easter post, I will NOT go into depths about this though. Next time. B-)

A very happy Easter to all that believe in that sort of thing, and have a nice day to those that don't.
Easter is a VERY special day for me. My twin boys were born on Easter Sunday, 14 years ago. It has always been a doublely blessed day for me ever since.
It was a grand weekend, and had a lot of fun. They have gone back to their female parental units love shack now, and the day sucks, and my computer is toast. (on laptop instead).
Was planning on joining in on the TR Guild with garvin playing WoW, but it doesn't look like even that will happen.
Time to break into the scotch.....
Oh, I always try to do something with the baskets to make the boys laugh, and had started a few years ago pouring choc covered raisins on them and on the table (easter bunny had an accident! :0 ) Last year I took it a step further and added in some "whoopers" (what was easter bunny eating? Bet that hurt!).
This year, I added in a few "baby ruth" candy bars..... ;\
they laughed.
for you and the boys. :( sad about the computer. :D grinning about the chocolate droppings.
What fried your computer?
by jdclyde
It is an older AMD biostar board, running a 1900 CPU. It just shuts off when playing games (this is my boys gaming system, so that is all it is for).
Swapped out EVERYTHING but the MD and it still shuts off. Swapped out MB and now I can't get it to load.
Not sure if it is a bios issue, compatablity, chipset or what, but I can't get over half way through an XP install. (grrrr). It was a used MB that a friend gave me that I swapped in, so I can't complain. Going to put old board back in and just have to russle up a few more side jobs so I can just buy NEW MB/CPU/RAM and start over.
Have been reading that older AMD MB's would burn up after a while due to cheap parts that couldn't take the heat. The bad thing is I never even over-clocked the system or anything! :(
You forgot to take this with you! (((jdclycde)))
The nature of the post was a manipulative gesture to spread some lightness. I confess!!!
A bunny story for you:
Back in my drinking days (oh! no! I didn't ever do that, did I?) I told a bar owner who asked me to waitress at a Halloween party that I would come dressed as a bunny, mini skirt and all...and I did.
I bought pink (longjohn) footed PJ's, made/wore two floppy ears, and put a black mini skirt over the PJ's with a white waitress apron. As I took orders I pulled a carrot out of the pocket on the apron and asked, "What's up, Doc?"
Edit: To prove this is really me! :D

my avitar is me last halloween.
A loving pic of me and the ex wife.
Here for larger version.

(does this give a peek into what I think of my ex?)
I looked and said, "Grass! Trees! Hosta plants!" I am forever distracted by beauty. Also...you really DO wear sunglasses as on your emoticon!!
There's no hope for me, jd. I'm one of those people who wakes myself up by laughing in my sleep.
I had to pay a doctor's fee years ago that bugged me a lot because all he said was, "When the pain goes away, it won't hurt anymore."
His words haunted me until I finally realized that I probably wouldn't have laughed as hard once I finally learned that lesson if he hadn't stiffed me out of the money!
a doctor disussing a patient with a heart, liver, nose transplant only to have the patient die of heat exhaustion!
Question for you: What would have happened if you set up a fan outside/behind the computer? (the Jury-rig specialist) Would it have had any cooling effect at all?
I understood most of what you wrote (hurray! I'm learning) and looked up bios. I'm sure this will help. One of the definitions was Big Idiots On Stilts. (Now how did I know that wasn't the right definition? :D)
So now I'm down to Basic Input Output System, Binary Intelligence Overide System, or Binary Interupt Output Service. Since you aren't on a network, I am ruling out the last one.
Is it Bachelor #1 or Bachelor #2? Keep your pants on. I take a while with such decisions.

When I first suspected overheating, I stripped the case down and had a box fan blowing into the case. (cpu fans are too small!)
alas, it was to no avail.... :(
Sorry, did I speak techeses earlier?
The one thing was not working correctly, so I looked at the other thing to see if the jobie would resolve my delima! B-)
Simply put, I just swapped out all the parts, one at a time, to determine which was having the issues.
Keep my pants on? :0 [b] What fun is that???
I am learning the language!! And give me a couple of points for thinking of the fan "outside the box" (which is where all creative people think).
What I need to know now is: was it bachelor #2 or # 3. It's a pain when I look something up and there are different definitions.
I understood what you were doing. I know what a motherboard is. (I used a different one when I was raising my kids, though, and it would be useful to use on you if you were close at hand!)
Goodness! I feel like my own evil twin here! LOL
Congratulations, BTW. You are the first person to get me to name call! I can't use Maxwell's favorite term because I know less than you do, but I can use the one in the title...LOL
Edit: Ya know? I've been thinking...I ought to just leave my typos in. Some of them are better than the rest of the post! I stutter, stammer, lisp and toss out spoonerisms...and that's just describing my typing!! ROFL

Thanks! (((Dawgit)))
He lays them very carefully in the basket so that none of them crack...Silly! You didn't know that?
What I want to know is what color were the chickens that produced them! You think it was something put in the chicken feed?

bios defintion. There is an expression to live by in tech, "Google is your friend".
[i](can sub in any other search engine that gets turns your crank before anyone goes off on that!)[/i]
So you had it. You will find names sometimes have different meanings, and sometimes the meaning changes.
One of the most notorius changes is the Windows NT, standing for "New Technology". Then when Win2k came out, the splash screen said "Built on NT Technology", which means "Built on New Technology Technology". ( dumb dumbies! :^0 ) After that, they scrubbed the MS web site to remove all traces of the meaning of "NT", and it can only now be found in old NT manuals and mirror web sites. Too funny.
Fan idea, yes it was a grand idea. It must have been because I came up with the same idea! ;\ Was not downcasting your idea in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, just letting you know that it was already tried.
Names, brat is one of the nicer things people call me! :D I don't deny being one either..... :0
Typos. They happen for many reasons. People like OZ are usually in a hurry to get back to the glass of suds, and will transpose characters in his haste. ( ask NE1 ;\ ) Mine is from sometimes being in a hurry, and sometimes just not being able to spell worth a crap. That is why God gave us spell check! Being a logic based person, I despise the written language as there is NO coherent logical thought put into it. If I were king I would banish the letter "c" and throw anyone that uses "ph" to make an "f" sound in jail after a public flogging!
The only time I give people any lip over a typo is when the typo changes the whole meaning of the post and is something VERY funny or could be taken as a DE. ]:)
Have you seen Max's link yet? Still makes me laugh......
Cheers! :x
All is forgiven (because you gave me the definition!)
I used 1-Click Answers and it gave me too many definitions. Usually it's great because it offers a cross reference so that I get a clear understanding. This time that backfired. I like 1-click because it doesn't take up any space at all. A tiny tab is located along the right scoll bar and I click on that, and a minisature answer bar pops out. I love the "whoosh!" sound it makes.
Maxwell's "drive by duck" caught me totally off guard, just as it was intended to do. I loved it!
One of my goals on this site is to "see" Absolutely laugh. I know he has it in him. Any guy who uses a tiny yellow car as his avatar has something going for him. Does that thing have a trunk? Perhaps that's where he hides his chuckle.
I don't think that it's any coincidence that miscellaneous and mischief share the first four letters. I "mind my manners" better at the other forums.
I LOVED the NT story!
:x
edit:When I grow up I'm gonna' marry an editor!
by jdclyde
but AB seems to stay away from the fluffier conversations most of the time. On the other hand, maybe that is because he is talking to a dude instead of a chick! :0 ]:)
Never heard about the NT, huh? Watch the next time you see a win2k system load. fuuuuuny!
An editor? Don't they usually get strung up or run out of town? :0
B-)
If you want someone that will be loyal and faithful, get yourself a geek! Of course, the good ones are hard to find because they are hiding in the server room! ;\
Read the post in my blog today! ROFL. It fits perfectly with what you just said! Ah! this is a good day! When the punch lines keep flowing, I know I'm where I belong.
I came here wanting to learn more about technology and considered writing tech articles, and I wind up becoming a geek humorist. It's about par for the course. :p
